Galaxy S5 :: How To Get Text Message Previews To Show Up
Feb 28, 2015
I just switched to the Galaxy S5 from the iPhone 5, so I am still trying to learn the new format.
First: I know how to get text message previews to show up, however, is there a way to get the text message on the lock screen to show the name, but not the full message? Right now I can either get the name and the full message on the lock screen or just "new message".
Second: Is there a way to transfer all my iTunes music onto the S5 so I don't lose it?
The mms message is lengthy and the entire text is not displayed.It shows "more" in the bottom rh corner of the text but can't figure out. how to get the rest of the text to show.
Is there a way to show my name when I send a text message? As it is now, my cell phone number shows, and I see nothing in Settings that gives me the option of using my name. Of course I can sign the message, but I prefer having my name appear—as it did on my earlier iPhones.Â
For a while now I can only view text messages from the "message" icon on my phone. I used to be able to view 2 different email accounts. The only way I can see my emails now is from the little window just below where the time is displayed.
so I notice when I get a new blackberry bold 9650 I notice that I could receive a cool looking text message icon. However, I need to figure out how could I transfer all my data.The blackberry desk manager never did work on my old phone witch. After plugging in the new phone on my PC it asked if I wanted to transfer my data... So I did.I realized that when I was receiving text messages they were looking more like email icons. I tried to look up in my options and I can't find anything.
When receiving a text message I can see the new message in my inbox but when I open the text message it isn't there, it only shows my last message. If I reply the missing message will then show up in the chat above my reply. A battery pull solves this problem but it only seems to be a temporary fix as it has happened again.
I recently upgraded to a 9700. Is there a way to make my name show up when someone receives a text message from me, as opposed to my phone number? You know, like when you send an email.
I was wondering if I could add a picture to my contacts that would show up when they send me a text message like you can do with the Samsung Gallery ...
When I search for someone with a home, work and mobile number I'm only ever going to text the mobile (or iPhone) numbers. Anyone know of a way to filter it so that only they show up? I'm assuming it would be possible to tweak that on a jailbroken phone.
Been with nokia (symbian) for years and years. just made the switch to android and having a few issues. Galaxy s6 edge.
my old nokia n8, I could choose to receive notification that only showed the contacts name and let me know I had a message from them. Is this possible on the s6? I do not want the message preview on my screen so that everyone can see the message. I just want the contacts name only.
So, I just had to update my phone & I absolutely hate all the changes. For once, when I open up a text message & begin to reply, I always have to hit the letter key twice before it actually appears in the message box. If not, the first letter I type is always left out.
I need to find out how do I change my text msg to just state I have a text msg whe I recieve one, I dont want the content to show on the screen. I have a 4s and cant find this functionality. I no I used to have it on my 3 .
Galaxy s2 on Orange UK - 2.3.5, BVKJ4.Why when i send or recieve a picture message does it turn it into a video and play the "still" image for 5 seconds? When i send a long text message it converts the message to a "slideshow" and some people moan that they cannot even view it when its sent them?
The bar on the top of the screen between the "select a profile" and the "search magnifying glass" where the notifications pop up not sure what that page is called but in this slide down screen under Text Messages I have a text message that is staying at unread. Even though I have deleted the text message and I've tried everything to try and get it to go away. Today I have a Blackberry Messenger Message that won't delete as well. Does anyone else have this problem and figure out a way to refresh and get ride of it? I've tried turning the device on and off a few times but doesn't fix the issue.
Using the stock Messaging app on the S6 allows you to set notification SOUND of your choice - globally ... but no longer has the ability to set a custom vibration pattern. Also, you USED to be able to set unique notification sounds per individual or contact group , but that's now missing too.
My question is, using a third-party messaging app, are these things possible? If so, which texting app (Chomp, etc.) is the way to go so that you can set up unique sounds/vibrations for individuals or groups?
I've seen GroupXIT app mentioned on various threads but their domain seems to not be active anymore: " group xit com" and I can't find the app in google play store.
Other than specifically asking folks to leave me out of a group message, is there any other way to withdraw from a monster group text thread?
Some annoying family starting MONSTER NFL threads every damned Sunday and I know zero people in the thread and would like to take control of my inbox again.
Just upgraded to two Galaxy S6 on Sprint for some reason my wife device and mine when we get text message they got to are default message app as well as one of our Email accounts. Is there a way to get them to Stop going to to Email and just go to the default text app that comes with the S6. Never had this issue before don't know if there a setting or what.
I want to add a permanent signature to every text message I send out on my Samsung Galaxy S6. As it is very important that my name appears on every message because of my profession.
OK, I've set out to find out WHY some (not all) of my text messages are being sent out in segments. And don't tell me it's because they're too long. I have sent messages that are longer than the entire length of my S5. I have seen this happen on text messages I've received and wondered why people sent one message in 2 or 3 segments...now it's happening with mine. Can't be a phone or provider specific thing since mine have always sent out "whole" until today. Oh, and also today, sometimes the message is duplicated (recipient gets two of the same message).
